Grace Found Me Again

With trembling hands and a past she desperately wishes to outrun, Eliana Reed drives toward an unknown future. Everything she owns fits in the backseat, but the shame, the regret, and the memory of a toxic co-dependent life marked by addiction feel like chains she can't break. Whispering a desperate prayer into the quiet car, she holds onto a single, fragile hope: God, if You still want me, show me.

Her journey leads her to Haven Ridge, a small, coastal town where the air smells of salt and new beginnings. Here, in the quiet rhythm of a local bakery and the gentle, non-judgmental presence of a new community-a cheerful owner, Joelle, a steady youth pastor, Daniel, and a peaceful Pastor, Miriam-Eliana begins to believe in the possibility of healing. But her identity is still tethered to her mistakes, making her resist the unconditional love offered. Every kindness is met with suspicion; every moment of peace is overshadowed by the fear of exposure.

When her past, embodied by a threatening message from the man she fled, finally tracks her down, Eliana's fragile walls crumble. Forced to confront the mess she tried so hard to hide, she experiences a total breakdown-the moment of surrender where running stops and grace begins.

This is a story of The Pursuing Grace, the active, relentless force that seeks the broken, not the fixed. It is the poignant journey from isolation to community, a testament to the truth that your failures are part of your testimony, not your definition. Grace Found Me Again is an inspirational novella that shows true belonging isn't earned, but freely given, proving that no matter how far you've run, grace will always come running harder to find you.
